Answer:

b. flat rotation curves in spiral galaxies

Explanation:

Dark matter accounts for majority of the matter in the universe (about 85%). It is considered to be composed of subatomic particles which are yet to be discovered. Dark matter cannot be observed because it does not emit light that can be detected. Only its gravitational effect is visible.

Astronomers when calculated the mass of the visible matter and tried to account for the observed speed of stars in the galaxy, there was a mismatch. To understand what caused this mismatch, astronomers gave name to the invisible matter as the Dark Matter.  

The expected velocity of stars should decrease away from the near the center of the galaxy but a constant velocity of stars was observed that is a relatively flat rotation curve was obtained.  

Thus, flat rotation curves in spiral galaxies in an evidence of Dark Matter.

What is the difference between relative location and absolute location
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Explained below:

Explanation:

Relative location describes determining a place relative to other landmarks and also used to symbolize a location of a place within a larger circumstance while absolute location references a place on the surface of the earth based on particular geographic coordinates, like latitude and longitude. While you can give the geographic coordinates of a city or a building, it is difficult to provide the absolute location of an area because such places may not be pinpointed then you can present the absolute locations of the edges of that particular area.
